"It will happen to you.
Your identity will be STOLEN!"

Sorry, but I’ve got some bad news for you. Identity theft nightmares and other attacks are happening every day. These thefts are happening to people just like you. How would you feel if this happened to you:

You apply for a mortgage on your dream house only to find out that your credit has been wrecked by thieves using your credit to fund their shopping expeditions. Your dreams go poof!
You try to take out a bit of cash to pay for a day at the amusement park only to learn that your bank account has been looted by identity thieves. How are you going to pay for groceries?

You will feel violated. It's natural because you have been. I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be that way.

Internet crime is a scourge of society and quickly become the preferred method of fraud around the world. It's much easier for criminals to rob someone from thousands of miles away, than it is to rip someone off the old fashion way - in person. So the problem is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Here are a few other points to consider:

Over a hundred sixty million identities have been stolen and we hear about more every day. Yes, that is 160,000,000 with 7 zeros. Even worse, it’s probably not your fault – but the thieves still have your identity.
Sexual predators lurk on the Web ready, willing and able to prey on our kids. In fact, 29,000 were kicked off MySpace back in June. TWENTY NINE THOUSAND sex offenders.
Millions of machines have been broken into and are used to send spam and other attacks on behalf of organized crime factions all over the world. These “zombies” send out billions of spam messages a day and clutter up your email.

Listen, I don’t have a Chicken Little suit and I’m not here to tell you about how dangerous the world is. You wouldn’t believe me even if I told you how bad it is.

What I’m here to do is educate you. To give you an understanding of the risk and give you some tips on how you can protect yourself and your kids. And don't think that security software you buy every year is the complete answer. It makes me sick to think about how much money the security software companies make and their customers are still not protected. Something has to be done. Someone has to tell the truth. That someone is Security Mike.

Who is this Security Mike guy?

I’ve been doing security for about 15 years. I got involved in networking and security about the time we started connecting networks to the Internet. I’ve been a practitioner and an advisor to some of the largest companies in the world. I also spent about 8 years marketing Internet security products – so I know how these fancy software marketers prey on your fear and get you to spend money. You can check out my professional biography here.

Today I’m an independent analyst, helping organizations figure out the best way to protect their corporate networks. Corporations, especially the large ones, have ready access to lots of information on how to secure their environments. They can afford to pay high priced consultants for the best advice money can buy. But who is there to help you – the consumer? NO ONE.

There is certainly no lack of information about Internet security on the Web. But you don't need more information do you? You don't particularly care about security - you care about getting the information you need from the sites you like. You want to buy stuff online and you are not alone. What you don't want to do is constantly worry about security or try to figure it out. You just want to someone to tell you what's important and provide the most protection for the least amount of effort.

You certainly can pay your local Geek to come over and configure your computer and sell you lots of software you have no idea about. Bring your checkbook – it’s going to run you hundreds You can do it yourself

of dollars. And you get to pay every year to renew your software as well. Don't forget the Geeks get paid when you buy software as well, so they have an interest in loading you up with stuff you don't need.

It’s not right. So I decided to do something about it.

I wrote Security Mike’s Guide to Internet Security to protect you (and your kids) from hackers, identity thieves, and other online mayhem. Best, of all the Guide allows you to DO IT YOURSELF and you don't even have to be a geek. That’s right, even the least technical people can quickly and easily navigate Security Mike's Guide. You can follow some easy directions, right? You can spend a couple hours of your time to save hundreds of dollars, right? Then you can configure all the software you need to be protected.

Security Mike's Guide is broken up into 3 sections: Secure The Foundation, Protect Your Identity, and Protect Your Kids. The graphic below provides some more detail about the process.

Security Mike's Process

Start with a Secure Foundation

It all starts with the foundation. Usually your computer provides the path of least resistance for the bad guys to compromise your information. Security Mike’s Guide gives you all the tools you need to implement security like the biggest companies in the world by teaching you to:

Lock down your networks – Your neighbors may be checking out your stuff right now. In about 10 minutes, I’ll show you how to configure your network to make it challenging for even the most sophisticated hacker to break in.
Secure your devices – Whether you have Windows or a Mac, there are some simple things you can do to make your environment safer – WITHOUT PAYING A CENT.
Set up your applications – You use email, right? And a web browser? Of course you do. But they probably aren’t as secure as they can/should be. Another couple of minutes and you’ll be protected from many of the most malicious attacks out there.
Use the "right" security software – Remember, I’m a security insider. I know all the tricks. I’ll give you a list of FREE security software that will provide better coverage than that brand name product you pay $80 for EVERY YEAR.
Help you recover from an attack – No one is immune to Internet attacks. Not even me. But if I’m attacked, I’ll know about it quickly and be able to recover fast – and I won’t lose any data. I can show you how.

Keep Your Identity Private

Keep in mind that technology is only one part of the security equation. You also need to understand how to protect your identity from organized crime factions that would love to loot your bank account and run up your credit card bills. The good news is that Security Mike’s Guide has you covered. I include step-by-step instructions on how you can make sure your private information stays private. Here’s just a few of the identity theft related topics you’ll find in Security Mike’s Guide:

6 steps to protect your identity – I’ll give you 6 things you can do RIGHT NOW to make sure your identity is protected. Some will surprise you and all are very simple.
Advanced identity protection – The Guide will show you how to detect a Phishing attack and to detect phone scams – BEFORE you are tomorrow’s victim.
Picking up the pieces – At some point in your life your identity will be stolen. It’s happened to me and it’ll happen to you. Sorry, but that’s the fact. So I show you how to recover as gracefully and quickly as possible. Who should you call? What should you tell them? It’s all in Security Mike’s Guide.

What about your kids?

I’ve got small kids. And I worry about them. It doesn’t take me long to find some really bad stuff on the Internet. I know how to protect myself – they don’t, YET. In order to keep your kids protected online, you need to take a multi-faceted approach. You got it; Security Mike’s got you covered. The Guide to Internet Security helps you:

Implement Parental Controls – Yes, there are already tools on your computer that can keep your kids from going to bad sites. There are also free utilities that bolster your protection. All is revealed in Security Mike’s Guide.
Set social networking ground rules – What can your kids do on MySpace? Facebook? You have rules about where your kids go and where they don't go, right? Why wouldn’t you have rules for what they can do online? Security Mike’s Guide will tell you what you can and should allow your kids to do on these social networks.

Security Software Companies have been RIPPING you off for YEARS!

I've got more bad news for you. You’ve been wasting anywhere from $60 – 80 on security software EVERY YEAR. Don’t feel bad – you aren’t alone. Anti-virus companies have built a $4 BILLION DOLLAR business on the backs of unsuspecting consumers like you, who don’t know better.

You can also blame the PC makers, who are kind enough to load the security software on your new PC and largely automate the process of taking your money every year.

You can certainly continue doing what you are doing; blissfully unaware of the risks and the easy steps you can take to protect yourself without spending any money. You can renew your security software, pay upwards of a hundred bucks a year, and keep the fat cats in Silicon Valley living large off of your hard earned money.

Or you can buy Security Mike’s Guide to Internet Security for $37 dollars. By doing security yourself and leveraging some great FREE utilities, not only can you improve your security posture – you can save $40. Who doesn’t want to save $40?

But that’s not all. If you buy before the official publication date on November 15 – you’ll save another $10. That’s right. You can get Security Mike’s Guide for only $27. But this offer goes away on November 15.

Not Convinced Yet?

Still a little skeptical? I understand. I tend not to believe much of anything, which is why I enjoy the security business. So I want you to get a taste of Security Mike’s Guide for FREE. That’s right. You Free offer can get the Special Report: 6 Easy Steps to Protect Your Identity (Step 6 in Security Mike's 10-step process) by filling out the web form below. You’ll learn:

How you can make sure no one gets credit in your name, which enables credit card fraud;
[Special Report Page 23]

That’s right. I’m happy to give you all of this stuff for free. I hope you learn something. I believe in karma, and if I do right by you and you see value in Security Mike’s Guide – I’m convinced you’ll want to buy it.

But there’s more!

One of the most important aspects of security is making sure you are on top of the latest attacks used by the bad guys and you are prepared. I’m sure you have a day job and don’t particularly want to monitor the hundreds of information sources I scour every day to find out what’s new and dangerous out there.

So as part of your Security Mike’s Guide purchase, I’ll include 6 months of the Security Mike Update Service. I’ll send you detailed instructions on how you can repel new and dangerous attacks within 24 hours. That’s right, Security Mike has got your back – AT ALL TIMES. After the initial 6 months, you can continue receiving Security Mike’s Updates for $20 a year. Right, you’ll save $60 over renewing your anti-virus product every year.

Even if you don’t buy Security Mike’s Guide, if you register for the Special Report: 6 Easy Steps to Protect Your Identity, I’ll add you to the Security Mike Announcements list. If there is something particularly malicious, I’ll mention it and point you to some resources that can help you fix the issue. Security Mike’s Guide is the gift that keeps on giving and hopefully making sure the bad guys don’t taketh away.

Remember, there is no 100% Security

Just to be clear, there is no such thing as 100% security. Even Security Mike is at risk, as well as lots of my friends that do security for a living every day. But by following Security Mike’s 10-Step process, you will no longer be the path of least resistance.

Why does this matter? There are literally hundreds of millions of targets on the Internet. The bad guys focus on the easy targets. You know, the low hanging fruit. A big part of being protected is not being the low hanging fruit. Security Mike’s Guide makes sure the bad guys shop in someone else’s garden.

And in the event you are attacked, you’ll be able to recover quickly and without losing data. You can’t make yourself impenetrable, but you sure can make sure you are prepared to REACT FASTER to a security breach.

How does it work?

It’s actually strikingly simple. When you buy Security Mike’s Guide you’ll be able to log into the Security Mike Portal (on or before November 15) where you can access all the steps of the Guide. You’ll get screen shots and detailed instructions on how to complete each part of the program. I’ve left nothing to chance; even the least technical person can go through the steps quickly and easily.

Another advantage of using Security Mike’s portal is that you can ask questions and get answers in Security Mike’s Forums. There is a sophisticated search capability, so your question may already be answered, and if not – I or another member will get you an answer quickly.

So let’s review:

If you buy Security Mike’s Guide to Internet Security for $37 ($27 until November 15), you’ll get a:

A 10-Step process to secure your networks and computers, protect your identity and protect your kids from cyber-threats, including the 10 Commandments of Internet Security;
Access to Security Mike’s Forums that will give you the ability to ask questions and get answers on any security topic;
A 6-month subscription to Security Mike’s Update Service, which provides detailed information (in Security Mike’s easy to follow format) to defend against new attacks as they happen.

Best of all, there is NO RISK to you. You don’t like Security Mike's Guide? Get your money back.

Some computer users are pretty sophisticated. The Guide may not teach you anything new. You may be able to stay on top of new security attacks without Security Mike’s help. Maybe you decide it’s too much work, so you’ll pay someone else more money for less protection.

Regardless of the reason, if you are unhappy – I will send your money back. That’s right. If you aren’t happy, you can have your money back. I’ll wish you good luck because Security Mike’s Guide isn’t for everyone. It’s all good.

Sincerely,

PS: Seriously, if you don't like the Guide, let us know within 30 days of your purchase and your money will be refunded promptly.

PPS: One other thing. The security vendors aren't going to want to let you go. They make it VERY hard for you to uninstall their software. They say it’s to make sure attackers don’t uninstall their software, but we all know that’s rubbish.

So Security Mike will give you a FREE BONUS: Uninstalling Symantec and McAfee (without killing your machine). This short report will tell you about the tools Symantec and McAfee provide for you to uninstall their software. But that’s not enough; I’ll also provide the ability to do the process manually, just in case the tools don’t work – which has been known to happen.

PPPS: You guessed it - there's more. Another bonus, for those buying Security Mike’s Guide before November 15, is FREE BONUS #2: How to Talk to Your Kids About Internet Security.

It’s not enough to install parental controls, you need to educate your kids about the hazards of the Internet and what they can and should do to be protected online. Unfortunately we can’t look over our kid’s shoulders 24 hours a day (even though we want to), they’ll need to learn how to fend for themselves out there in the wild and dangerous world of the Internet. Security Mike’s report will start the process of educating your kids and making sure they stay safe.

So act now, buy before November 15 - you’ll save $10 AND get the free bonus reports.
